Tangsheng Yi

Principal Scientist, Immunology Discovery

Postdoc Mentor

"We translate immunology discoveries to therapeutic molecule. The impact it makes on human biology and disease intervention makes it an extremely fulfilling career."

Years at Genentech

Publications

Awards & Honors

I joined Genentech in 2014 as a scientist in Immunology Discovery after finishing my postdoctoral training at HHMI/UCSF, where I studied how immune cell trafficking and positioning shapes adaptive immune responses. I am drawn to Genentech because of its supportive and multidisciplinary environment that allows my curiosity in human physiology prosper, and fulfills my eager to translate immunology knowledge to medicine discovery.

Postdoctoral Mentor

Genentech offers the best postdoctoral training. Not only we conduct high quality basic research revealing cellular and molecular mechanism of human disease. What makes us unique is the opportunity to witness how scientific discoveries impact drug discovery and human medicine.

My current research aims to understand how defective mucosal barriers allows microbial translocations, dysbiosis, and subsequent inflammatory responses, which are often seen at serious inflammatory disorders of inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, and atopic dermatitis. The ultimate goal is to discover and develop new therapeutic agents to treat patients.
